There is literally a court order that forbids this, but Senate Republicans don't care. They snuck this language into the budget bill in the middle of the night, breaking the rules to avoid the Parliamentarian ruling against them. Call your reps. 👇

🚨 The Senate budget bill lets the government detain immigrant families indefinitely in unlicensed facilities. This is a direct threat to children’s health and safety. Congress must reject this cruelty. 📢 Tell Congress: NO on the budget bill. youthlaw.org/voteno

Jonathan Joss--voice actor of John Redcorn from King of the Hill, and Ken Hotate from Parks and Rec--was killed in a homophobic hate crime today. I'm so angry.

Statement from Tristan Kern de Gonzales Husband of Jonathan Joss My husband Jonathan Joss and I were involved in a shooting while checking the mail at the site of our former home. That home was burned down after over two years of threats from people in the area who repeatedly told us they would set it on fire. We reported these threats to law enforcement multiple times and nothing was done. Throughout that time we were harassed regularly by individuals who made it clear they did not accept our relationship. Much of the harassment was openly homophobic. When we returned to the site to check our mail we discovered the skull of one of our dogs and its harness placed in clear view. This caused both of us severe emotional distress. We began yelling and crying in response to the pain of what we saw. While we were doing this a man approached us. He started yelling violent homophobic slurs at us. He then raised a gun from his lap and fired. Jonathan and I had no weapons. We were not threatening anyone. We were grieving. We were standing side by side. When the man fired Jonathan pushed me out of the way. He saved my life. Jonathan is my husband. He gave me more love in our time together than most people ever get. We were newlyweds. We picked Valentines Day. We were in the process of looking for a trailer and planning our future. He was murdered by someone who could not stand the sight of two men loving each other. I was with him when he passed. I told him how much he was loved. To everyone who supported him, his fans, his friends, know that he valued you deeply. He saw you as family. My focus now is on protecting Jonathan’s legacy and honoring the life we built together. If your concern is how someone coped with trauma or how loudly they speak when recounting injustice and being ignored by authorities then you never truly cared about my husband. Jonathan saved my life. I will carry that forward. I will protect what he built. Tristan Kern de Gonzales

I’m so happy with how this turned out! Stay tuned for more information on stickers (and maybe prints and shirts?) but for the time being, if you’re looking for posters to flyer, I have the uncompressed .jpeg on my Ko-Fi for free! ko-fi.com/s/09b3450007 #art #digitalart #unicorn #politicalart

I was hoping to finish this for International Worker’s Day but my carpal tunnel is acting up too much for lettering. But I’m back with more unicorns with flags on their horns… I’m gonna make this a sticker but I think it would look sick as a shirt as well! #art #digitalart #wip #unicorn #mayday

I have two things to say about the judge being arrested by the FBI. 1. Obstructing immigration is illegal but also morally correct. 2. I don’t believe a word the FBI or ICE says. They are lying. The judge is innocent.
